    This place is a treasure trove, a bit of an Old Curiosity Shoppe for artists. Jay, the owner, is…read morevery knowledgeable and friendly. Prices are very reasonable. Paints, paper, canvases, easels, you name it, he has it. A bit out of the way for Torontonians, but worth the trip.

    I went to Discount Art Supplies and Framing to find a frame for a 48" x 48" piece of art that I…read morebought from the Florida Artist, Anthony Burks, a few years ago. I was recommended by the Mill Pond Curator to visit the shop. I wasn't sure if it was open or not on Easter Sunday from the way it looked outside because the windows were mostly covered by canvases. I walked in and was taken aback by how much there was in the store. There was a lot of stuff stacked on top of each other but definitely organized. So I was thinking that I've found my local art supply store after walking around the store to see what all they had as inventory. I ended at the frame moulding near the back of the store and picked up a couple of moulding corners to inquire and receive quotes. I was walking to the counter near the register and was told (by someone I assumed the owner) to leave the molding over at the wall area and tell him what I am framing so that he can give me a quote. I found it odd because in order to get a frame quote, you never need to know what a person is framing although it can help to ask if the person doesn't know. I informed that I just want a frame and it doesn't matter what I am framing exactly but I do need just a quote. He asked me to tell him what I am framing. I informed him it wasn't required but I need a quote. He let me know that he can't help me with a quote if I don't tell him what I am framing. At this point, I had already put the moulding corner sample back on the stack of boxes. I let him know "thanks" but I wouldn't be back since he can't help me. ‍ Basically, the store was quite organized but super overstocked with inventory, etc., and their customer service sucked.

    I have been at this spot to buy some craft items before, but I also recently went to their monthly…read morebook club and craft night and it was outstanding. The book was Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren. You register for the class and pay online. It is an easy process. You pick up the book before the class. You have a few weeks to read the book and then show up to the book club, where you discuss the book while making a craft. I love this concept. This was my dream night/class, getting to read a book and then craft while discussing it. There were about 8 people there and the instructor. Everyone was so kind and excited to be there and talk about the book. The craft was tote bags. We took acrylic paint and painted a bunch of books on there. There were so many creative designs.  The space at Musejar is wonderful. There is a separate entry for art classes and the store. The store has some super cool craft products, as well as a large selection of fiber items, and decor. It is inviting and warm and always decorated with the season or holiday. The art space is open, bright and has everything you need to make your project successful.

    You immediately feel creative upon arrival. The decor is so varied and all the tools for your…read moreimagination are right there in-store. Yarn art, markers paradise, colored pencils, paper, you get the gist. Plus there is a pottery studio! I had the best class ever with Heidi. She's an amazing teacher and a great potter. The shop has areas designated as class spots with tables and chairs for group learning. There is a couch to hang out on and knit or just visit. It's warm and welcoming and many collaborative efforts happen via classes within the community. See their website for a calendar or listing of classes. Some classes are for just a session others for weeks. And there's pottery date nights that sell out nearly instantly. I'd recommend MuseJar.

    The Art Stop - Painting from Paul Taylor's Saturday class. Keep in mind, I suck,  but he walked us through doing that!

    We are up here for the summer from Texas, and I swear I'd move up here for Wegmans and this amazing…read moreart shop. My husband grew up here, and I've been visiting with him for quite a while. I never really noticed this place before, probably because I wasn't painting at the time. I recently took up, watercolor, and brought all my stuff up here, but needed a few extra supplies. During my first visit, I noticed they had a workshop on that upcoming Saturday, and I eagerly signed up for it. It was an all-day workshop with Paul Taylor, and he was an INCREDIBLE instructor. Even though I had taken classes for three months before we left Texas, I learned so much from him in that one day. The class focused on doing one painting from beginning to end, and you would think an seven hour day would be too much for one painting, but it was absolutely perfect. It allowed us to take our time and allowed time for him to explain every move and assist us as we painted. Now about the shop... What a jewel! It is very well stocked, and had almost everything I needed, except for a couple of paint colors. But to top it off, the owner was working the day I visited, and she was so incredibly helpful. She walked around and helped me find everything I needed, and we had a wonderful visit while I was there. I returned again on another day when a young woman was working, and she was equally as helpful and enjoyable. When we come up here next year, I think I'm going to base our visits around the classes they offer. I would love to take the watercolor class that they offer that goes on for several weeks. If you consider yourself even remotely, creative and artistic, skip Hobby Lobby, and Michaels and support this wonderful local establishment.

    The owner is down to earth and cares about each customer. There needs to be more stores like this…read more You find what you need, and it's an atmosphere unlike the big box stores. Great experience here! They even have a summer camp for kids. I believe there's art classes for all ages here too. Wonderful place that offers great art supplies.
